Mr. Strauss was concerned with the development of the agency's creative staffs and its management. When he assumed the presidency, the agency was billing $52-million. When he gave up the position of chief executive officer in 1969, the agency had billings of more than $230-million.
Born in Rochester, N.Y., April 21, 1909, Mr. Strauss received a B. S. degree in economics from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School in 1931. The next year he became advertising manager of the Riggs Optical Company, Chicago, a subsidiary of Bausch & Lomb, Inc., where he remained until he joined Grey.
